CNN first reported that Jindal -- and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty -- will campaign for Romeny in Ohio and Pennsylvania, which are considered "swing states" in the fall election.

The duo will rally support for the former Massachusetts governor at the same time that President Barrack Obama launches his first bus tour through battleground states. It is expected that Jindal and Pawlenty will campaign in areas close to that bus tour, hoping to counter the president's message and media coverage.

On Sunday, Jindal represented the Republican party on NBC's "Meet the Press" in a debate focused largely on the Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act.
